Description

In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez dives deep into one of the most underrated AI capabilities available in ChatGPT: its Deep Research tool. While the AI world buzzes with talk about autonomous agents, Dan reveals how this built-in feature can outperform them by giving marketers unparalleled insight into their customers. He explains how Deep Research goes beyond a simple web search, dedicating 30-40 minutes to iterative, thoughtful analysis of internet data, and shows how to use a 12-part prompt pack to harness it effectively. From decoding audience pain points to discovering grant opportunities, Dan demonstrates how any marketer can unlock gold hidden across forums, social platforms, and blogs to create resonant, data-backed content.
